100% extra fine merino dk weight

These yarns are mill twisted and steam set for us from 5 strands of 3/44NM or 2/30NM lace weight extra fine merino yarn produced by Zegna Baruffa of Italy. The lace weight was sold as Cashwool because it has been spun so as to be exceptionally full and soft for a merino yarn, but it is pure merino, no cashmere.. The yarns ARE very soft though, and the colors are truly vivid..

NOTE the cones are double our normal size, ie they give 300g (10oz) nett weight of yarn..

THE BALLS are the same yarn, but specially processed to relax and fluff up the yarn before balling. Each ball is 100g, approx 300 yards.

As 5 x 3/44NM or 5 x 2/30 NM nominal yarns, actually slightly thicker than our normal dk, these give 880 yards per DOUBLE cone, or 1,350 yards per lb, and should give around 20-24 stitches on a 4 inch swatch, using US 5-6, 3.75-4mm needles. Please add your experiences with these yarns (especially with pictures!) below. You can find articles about knitting and washing these yarns in our Knowledge Base section.. as mentioned, the balls are 100g, about 300 yards.
